Chef Tay was great. She explained to us step by step how everything should be done. Food was amazing, super tasty. It was great to have her come to our home since she showed us how to use our own kitchenware to cook all the food. I really recommend this class.

Chef Tay is a very nice person and I enjoyed spending time with her! Her food was very tasty, and she is passionate about Southern and Caribbean cooking. I learned how to make grits creamy and tasty -- and they were delicious!

Since I have known this woman, she has been cooking! I am happy to see her share it with the world! The Mac & Cheese is the cheesiest, The Fried Chicken is the crispiest and if you name any seafood dish, she can execute it with TLC and finesse! The way her soul speaks through her dishes, it is riveting! I would book her for any event and be confident that my guests will not only have a satisfied palette, but also be met with incomparable service and professionalism!

Chef Tay's dishes are amazing! The dynamic taste and flavors reminds me of meals my grandma used to make. I knew I was hooked after having a plate of her fried chicken and baked mac n cheese. Six cheeses! So good! You can tell her heart is in her food.

I hired Chef Tay to be a personal chef for a girls weekend, and she went above and beyond to make the weekend perfect for some hungry old ladies. Even when the menu changed at the last minute and special diet requests were made, Chef Tay was there with a smile and something delicious. She handled everything professionally even when demands were high. Most important the food was DE-LI-CIOUS! Food that will put your grandma to shame! I will definitely hire her again and have recommended her to all my friends.

Chef Tay is the most patient chef I know. She's a pleasure to be in the kitchen with. I've been her sous chef on several catering jobs and she makes everything seem so effortless. When I'm feeling defeated she always lightens the mood with a quick joke and words of encouragement. Thanks for being an awesome teacher and believing in me.
